What Is The Deal With The Shotty?
« on: December 06, 2004, 08:09:00 AM »

Seems everytime I run into someone with the shotty, they kill me in one shot.   grr.gif   Whenever I have the damn thing it takes two to three shots to take someone down and sometimes even three doesn't do the job when I am in close range!  I used to aim for the body, but someone told me to aim for the head.  It doesn't seem to make any difference to me.

Just happened to me too :P   I shot him in the body, oh he turned yellow.... didn't even take his shield out, just down some.  Oh, one shot to me just killed me.  I've found myself yelling at this game more and more lately.  It seems like when I hit level 10, the only people it puts me up against are 14s and 15s.  Needless to say, the past about 8 games I've played have just been beatings on me.... I always seem to have about 15 assists though <_<   <

you gotta aim for the head......not his shields.....

and its the same thing with the sword.....if your crosshair is not red and locked onto him then it won't kill him in one hit  <

Thats what I do. But to be fair you can kill them in 2 shots before its Red but I prefer to wait till I can press the barrel against their neck.  <

There is a predefined distance. If you are closer to your enemy than the distance, you kill in 1-2 shots, if you are any further, it takes like 5-6.  <

Yea I understand that, but people seem to kill me with one shot farther away than the same distance I only take their shields halfway down most of the time.  <

i think this happens to everyone....some games it seems like I'm getting the short end of the deal every time..i have a shotgun, he has a shotgun, we both fire, i shoot him in the face at point blank, and I die...then othertimes, it seems like i can't lose....i have noticed though that the neck area is definately a good target with the shotty...  <

Only thing I can figure is it is slight latency, although none of the other weapons seem to be as bad about it.  My sword sometimes maybe though.  <

u can kill anyone, any part of the body if u get them with ur shotgun digging into their body lol. useful tip for the shotgun is jump and turn so they run under u, then u run up to them as there turning around and point blank them in the back  <
